Editorial Reviews

Product Description

THIS RELEASE INCLUDES FREE RINGTONE AND MOBILE PHONE WALLPAPER (See Insert for Details)

AP cheers, "Part Stevie Wonder, part Radiohead, part Ric Ocasek, Kenna blends different cultures and identities in a sound that's completely his own" and Entertainment Weekly calls Kenna "A savvy, idiosyncratic artist who could help redeem radio". Critic's darling Kenna, the eldest son of an immigrant Ethiopian family had a life changing experience when he discovered U2, and resolved to make his own music that was equally powerful and poetic. Landing in Virginia Beach, he connected with the areas most creative residents, THE NEPTUNES to craft music that would eventually lead to the new album, "Make Sure They See MY Face.

    Had high expectations due to Say goodbye to love which introduced me to this artist. Had even more expectations since the production is done by Chad from the neptune/N.E.R.D. Maybe i had to high of expectations but none the less missing the mark on other songs. But overall easy listening can listen all the way through.

    All I can say is the album is really good. One of the best ones this year, sounds very fresh. The only tracks I don't like are the Pharell produced ones.

    4.0 out of 5 stars His Face Is Still in the Shadows
    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2007
    First of all, I would like to rate Kenna as an artist a 6/5. He is of his own genre that seems as if he could very easily be an extraterresterial from a planet light years ahead of us. As if he will not be appriciated as he should until us humans reach the year 2099. Kenna's second album, "Make Sure They See My Face" is a very solid sophomore album that was pressured from the many "underground" fans that have generated after his debut album "New Scared Cow" entered the music realm. "New Sacred Cow" is a classic record. And fans expect Kenna's sophomore effort to be the same. Most will not be dissopointed.

    The album starts out with "Daylight", which introduces the distinct sound to the listener that opens up the pleasure of the rest of the album. The second song is "Out of Control (State of Mind)," which is the first official "single." I love this song. It almost seems like it could be a dance record, but the beat and his vocals are unbelievable. It forces the listener to move that is for sure.

    For those of you that are Pharrell and Chad (The Neptunes) fans this album produces some of their best beats they have created. Even though, the majority of the beats are conducted by Chad and Kenna, there are two tracks that are specifically made by Pharrell. To a Neptune fan, it was easy to pick these two without seeing his name on the credits. Those two are the back-to-back tracks "Loose Wires/Blink Radio" and "Say Goodbye to Love." If I wasn't sure if "Out of Control" was a dance record, I know that "Loose Wires/Blink Radio" is. That record takes the beat back to The Neptunes "older" sound, but nevertheless is amazing. "Loose Wires/Blink Radio" and "Say Goodbye to Love" are outstanding songs to be back and back. For club goers, I am sure that these two tracks will stick out the best.

    "Sun Red Sky Blue" is the fifth track to introduce the first half of the album. I do enjoy this song, however, it seems almost too much of a transition from the two "up beat" tracks before it. Maybe that is why it does not have a giant impact on me.

    Kenna wanted this second album to have a more lyrical and meaningful effect. "Baptized in Blacklight" meets his efforts in full effect. The will remind the listener of a U2 song. But without Bono's vocals. Which to me, seems so much better than any U2 song. "Baptized in Blacklight" is one of my favorites on the album.

    "Static" follows "Baptized in Blacklight" and follows suit the songs tone. The beat is there, but it seems all the listener can concentrate on is Kenna's lyrics. This track is no doubt the most lyrical of all of them. One of my favorites as well.

    The next song on the album is "Phantom Always." I enjoy this song. It is another one of Kenna's more lyrical. It not neccessarily as "slow and quiet" as "Baptized in Blacklight" and "Static," but nevertheless, the song's lyrics grab you and it is a perfect song for the Mp3 player.

    "Face the Gun/Good Luck" gets the upbeat Kenna back into play. I have heard this song before somewhere and loved it. It must have been one of the first tracks he completed for this second album. It is an inspiring song.

    "Better Wise Up" signifies how Kenna can switch to different genres and blend multiple layers of music together. This song has a country, alternative, rock feel that is difficult to describe with words. It is a song that does not sound like any of his others on this album. And for that reason it is very appealing to the ear. It sticks out to me; a very original song.

    The listener can easily pick up the U2 influence that Kenna possesses on "Be Still." It is a great song and is another one of my favorites on the album.

    The album closes out with "Wide Awake," which is the favorite record on the album of mine. Easily. The blend of the lyrics and the melody along with the beat grab me more than any of the other songs. The song should give the listener hope that Kenna has more up his sleeve for the future. It concludes an outstanding album.

    Many people will compare this ablum to his first and I am always hesitant to do so. Because each album is a completly different outlet for Kenna. "New Sacred Cow" was in my opinion a better ablum, only because it felt like it was entirly Kenna's creativeness that ensued on the record. "Make Sure They See My Face" shows that Kenna is inspired by other artists, especially U2. It does not take much away from the exeptional album, but enough to say that his debut album is still the classic out of the two.

    Enjoy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Une découverte incroyable !!!
    Reviewed in France on January 16, 2022

    Kenna a grandit au lycée avec les Neptunes, du coup ça coulait de source que l'album serait réalisé entre autres par les supers producteurs.

    Le premier titre que j'ai écouté Out Of Control, par hasard, je ne sais plus où surement sur Youtube, en tout cas pas à la radio (d'ailleurs je n'écoute plus la radio depuis le début des années 2000), en juin 2008.

    L'album introuvable à la Fnac et Virgin, je décide de me le procurer par un autre moyen, et pars en vacance avec.

    On commence par Daylight, cette sombre nappe dès le début, donne une mélancolie au morceau, malgré une rythmique assez soutenue le morceau dégage de l'émotion.

    Out Of control, que dire ... pour ma part le meilleur titre de l'album, un clip a été tourné d'ailleurs.

    Loose wires /Blink radio, morceau plutôt dansant, mais il y a toujours de l'émotion.

    Ensuite on arrive à Say Goodbye To Love, je suis très mitigé sur ce morceau, je crois que c'est le morceau commercial et le plus connu de l'album, il n'est pas mauvais mais on sent trop la patte de Pharell et pas assez de Kenna.

    Enfin tous les autres titres, à part Face The Gun qui est très énergique d'ailleurs, sont dans le même style, mélancolique voir balade (Static).

    Bon il y a beaucoup de titres bonus suivant les versions (Itunes, Amazon ..) ce qui est dommage c'est que seulement est disponible sur Spotify en bonus Rockaway Life avec Justin Timberlake d'ailleurs.

    Je recommande vivement son écoute, depuis 2008 j'attends un nouvel album, deux trois Ep et singles sont sortis mais rien en terme d'album vu les ventes qu'il a fait ...

    I cant believ no-one is talking about this great album and giving it more airplay and credit. This is a brilliant album,at forst i wasnt quite sure but the tracks really grow and sink in and the whole album is produced by The Neptunes to boot!

    This is really cheap on amazon marketplace,cant understand why its being sold so cheap for a new release?? Anyway Although it says prod by the neptunes the bulk of the album is really produced by Chad Hugo who is the other less famous half of the duo. Chad is a very underated producer and gives this album a wonderful polish with lots of futuristic beats and sound although kennas melody is defiantelt at the forefront. Pharrell chips in with 2 tracks,these being the more regular neptunes sounding type tracks. This isnt an rnb album incase anyone was wondering,its more of a pop/rock album largely given a dusting of neptunes on top.

    PLEASE GET THIS ALBUM..I AGREE WITH MARK RONSON.,."AMAZING ALBUM"

    Buzzing noises, irresistible rhythms and a funky sound. This album is quite different to anything I've heard in a long time. I really enjoyed it (the guy is clearly talented) but to be honest, after a while, the constant phase-shift in genre and sudden drops can get quite tiresome. Not ideal for background music if you're trying to work for example.
    But worth a listen none the less.
